Division Spotlight
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Zaporizhzhia ‘extremely fragile’ relying on single off-site power line, IAEA warns
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant has just one remaining power line for essential nuclear safety and security functions, compared with its original 10 functional lines before the military conflict with Russia, warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Five line integrated spectra are obtained from Hanbit mirror plasma using optical chords installed in the horizontal direction of central cell chamber.
In this work, we describe the spectroscopic method to obtain the local spectra in the radial direction by applying the deconvolution method to the five line integrated spectra. Among several fitting methods, the deconvolution fitting is well known as the most effective one.[1]
From these, the local intensity profiles and ion temperature are obtained. In order to compensate for the instrumental broadening of spectrometer, a slit function obtained from the low pressure mercury line 253.65 nm is used. The C III 229.68 nm line from the Hanbit central cell plasma is selected as sample data. We applied the deconvolution fitting method using a slit function to eliminate the instrumental broadening.
